    Event description

     Id like to welcome you to come along and learn how to make Aircrete bricks and other skills  to create an Arch shaped tiny home and also learn of  many other interesting ways aircrete can be used .

    Absolutely no experience necessary as you will soon discover that building couldn't be more easy, fun or economical, whilst using simple budget friendly tools. Suited for both men, women, young and the not so young . 


    This material doesn’t burn, termite can’t eat it and is extremely insulating against heat, cold and sound . 
     

    Dome and Arch shaped structures have proven to be amongst the strongest throughout history, having stood the tests over thousands of years . 

    This method of building is proving to be one of low impact on the budget and the planet, and lends itself to becoming a beautiful hand made home, studio, workshop/hobby /sacred space 

    You will leave inspired after the weekend workshop as it's a hands on build where you get to practice what you learn in real time and to also connect with other forward thinkers . 

    Workshop numbers limited to 12 people . Participant numbers are  kept  low to have quality time and interactions. 

    After attending a workshop, you are welcome to freely come back to this or future builds  to continue expanding upon your skills and collaborations with other like minded creatives .
